Chapter 1115: Forced Marriage
When Wen Xiaowan came home, the sun was in the west, the house was very cold, the eldest aunt was muttering something while making dinner, there was a plate of pickles on the table, and when she saw Wen Xiaowan coming back, she smiled on her thin face and said, "Nannan, are you back?" Got a job today? "My aunt is a northerner, and she is not familiar with the place in this small alley in Shanghai, and she can't go with the neighbors around her, so she is always alone, which also makes her develop the habit of talking to herself when she is fine.
"Auntie, I didn't find it today." Wen Xiaowan smiled bitterly and said, "What about the little stone? ”
"Asleep."
At this time, Chao Jingzhou also woke up when he heard his aunt's voice, and shouted in a milky voice: "Sister, sister." ”
Wen Xiaowan hurriedly walked to the bedroom, saw Chao Jingzhou struggling to get up, dressing herself, and hurriedly helped to put it on, and asked, "Little stone, is it cold?" ”
"It's not cold." Chao Jingzhou said with a grin.
Looking at the face that was a little blue from the cold, Wen Xiaowan felt a sour feeling in her heart, shook his little hand, it was cold to the bone, and shouted, "It's so cold." ”
"It's not cold." Chao Jingzhou said again, touching Wen Xiaowan's face and saying, "Sister, who bullied you, why are you crying?" ”
Wen Xiaowan felt sorry for Xiaoshi, and immediately said, "Come, sister will cover you." ”
"Okay." Chao Jingzhou happily jumped into his sister's arms, the child is sensitive, he instinctively noticed that his mother in this family actually didn't like him, and his sister was the best person for him. Xiaoshi speaks sensibly early, and ordinary children can only pronounce it at eight months. He can be a father and mother in five months, and he can speak completely at the age of one and a half, and now he is two years old and can understand the attitude of adults. I can't help but say what kind of environment makes what kind of people.
"Eat, eat, eat." My aunt's rice is cooked, and today it is red bean porridge and a plate of pickles, and the three of them will eat it.
Just half of the meal, someone knocked on the door, and the guest was my uncle Wang Weimin. Wang Weimin walked in with two snacks in his hand and smiled, his eyes flickering from side to side, and he didn't know what his idea was.
"Little uncle." Wen Xiaowan said. "What's wrong with you...... Sit, sit. So he poured water for him, and when his aunt saw Wang Weimin, she hated it, and took two bites and excused herself for a headache. took Chao Jingzhou back to the back room to rest. Wen Xiaowan poured some hot water for her little uncle. Asked: "Why does my little uncle have time today?" ”
"In this way, we are relatives, so we have to move around more." Wang Weimin showed a hypocritical smile on his face, the fake can't be fake.
"Oh." Wen Xiaowan didn't know what medicine was sold in his stomach, so she sat aside.
Wang Weimin picked up the cup and was about to take a sip, but when he saw that a hole had been knocked off the quilt, he hurriedly put it on the table for fear of hurting himself. Restrained the disdain on his face and tried to pretend to smile, and said, "Oh, Nan." You're twenty years old, aren't you? ”
"Twenty-one." Wen Xiaowan said.
"It's twenty-one, they're all big girls, and your Wen family was also a famous family in Wuxi back then, alas. Originally, when you were sixteen years old, you said a family business, didn't you go to school? And without foot binding, the other party regretted the marriage, you know this matter, right? ”
"Yes." Wen Xiaowan said, she didn't think there was anything wrong, at that time his father wanted her to bind her feet, but her mother, the eldest sister of the Chao family, resolutely disagreed, the eldest sister of the Chao family is Tianzu (not binding feet), and it does not prevent her from marrying, isn't she married to Wen Xiucai? Of course, the marriage between the eldest sister of the Chao family and Wen Xiucai was also the marriage of her parents, Wen Xiucai's family was so poor that no one else married him, and the eldest sister of the Chao family was smart and capable, and the Wen family slowly lived a good life later. Thinking of her parents and two younger brothers who died in the fire, Wen Xiaowan's heart couldn't help but feel sour.
Wang Weimin said: "Isn't it, I met the villagers from my hometown in Wuxi in the past two days, and they told me that the Zhao family who was engaged to you now regrets it and wants to marry you again." ”
"Huh?" Wen Xiaowan was surprised.
"Look, how?" Wang is the way of the people.
Wen Xiaowan said curiously: "How is it possible, didn't his Zhao family marry someone later?" ”
"Hey, that's what you said...... Uncle Tell you something clearly. Wang Weimin said, "It has been five years since the son of the Zhao family married the third daughter of the Tang family in Tangcun Village, but the couple will not have children in five years. The so-called unfilial piety is great, even if his Tang family is famous and rich, how can he do it after the four generations of the Zhao family are gone? So the old man Zhao gave the Zhao family a concubine, but this concubine is also particular. I looked for Mr. to see it, and there are not many capable people who can be concubines for the Zhao family and can spread out. After doing the math, it is said that the marriage originally set for the Zhao family boy, that is, the marriage with you, was originally the Zhao family's rich and noble marriage, but it was only because you were Tianzu that the Zhao family regretted it. Mr. Zhao asked someone to come to Shanghai to find me, you see, people are full of sincerity, please go back to your hometown in Wuxi to be a second grandmother. ”
Wen Xiaowan understood, so she said lightly: "Little uncle, thank you for suing me today, but I won't go back, and I won't be a second grandmother." ”
"Don't be so stubborn." Wang Weimin hurriedly said, "Although the Zhao family is not very rich, they also have three shops in Wuxi, and they have a rich family. Don't talk about it now, even a few years ago, the Wen family didn't suffer, and people also dumped your Wen family a few streets, otherwise would it be so easy for their family to regret their marriage? ”
Wen Xiaowan said: "Little uncle, you don't seem to understand, although my Wen family is in the middle, but the daughter of the Wen family will never be small." I, Wen Xiaowan, would rather never marry someone in my life than be a concubine for anyone, whoever wants to marry me will marry me in a sedan chair and marry me into the door. His Zhao family just wants me to pass incense to his house, you know who my mother is, I am her daughter, and you should know my character. ”
Wang Weimin continued to persuade, but unfortunately Wen Xiaowan looked weak, but her personality was extremely tough, and several times of persuasion failed, Wang Weimin was annoyed and ashamed, and left with the gift. It turned out that this Wang Weimin also received money from the Zhao family, and the Zhao family promised that if Wen Xiaowan could agree to be a concubine, he would give Wang Weimin twenty yuan as a gift. The Wen family and the Chao family are gone, and the only elder who can speak is Wang Weimin, the little uncle, and it is customary to give him gift money. It's just that Wang Weimin knew that he was not doing an authentic thing to drive away the Chao family, and this time he opened his old face and went to the door to beg for help, but he was poured cold water by Wen Xiaowan, how could he not be angry?
No big or small, the elders didn't listen to the words, Wang Weimin said angrily. After returning home, Wen Xiaowan's aunt Wang Chao saw him come back with a gift box, and said in surprise: "What ...... you bought this thing?"
"Your niece, I really don't know what to do." Wang Weimin said angrily, so he said before and after, Wang Chao's temperament was cowardly, and he didn't dare to say much, so he whispered: "Xiaowan has the same personality as my eldest sister, and they are both ......."
"Have a temper to eat? If you have a temper, you can't starve to death? Wang Weimin opened his teeth and claws and shouted, "I also have two oil bottles, the people of the Zhao family are benevolent and righteous enough, and the two oil bottles can be accepted to go to the Zhao family to be a subordinate, what's wrong?" What's wrong with her? Hmph, I don't know what to do. He squinted at the yellow-faced woman, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, so he simply turned his head and said, "Is it an excuse for Wen Xiaowan not to be the second grandmother, she was originally ...... Eh, wife, you say, doesn't that child look like a big brother? ”
"Huh?"
Wang Weimin jumped up in shock as if he had discovered something, glared and said, "I feel more and more that the child is not like the eldest brother, the eldest brother is a square face, and the sister-in-law is also a round face, but the child is ...... Didn't you pay attention? The child is walnut-faced, and he is handsome, but he does not follow his eldest brother or sister-in-law. There must be adultery, there must be adultery, fucking bitch, it turned out to be her own child! ”
Wang Chaoshi thought for a while and said, "I also found out what you said, but it may not be ......."
"You know what a!" Wang Weimin clapped his hands, his eyes flashed with a naked light, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Do you think this kid is similar to Wen Xiaowan?" Face shape, nose, eh, why didn't I think that Wen Xiaowan didn't agree to marry the Zhao family because she had given birth to a child, and the eldest girl's family gave birth to an illegitimate child before the marriage was concluded, and she was no longer a virgin, she was afraid of being seen, so she pretended to be a saint. Hmph, pretend! Let's be reserved! I was pregnant with someone else's child in Beijing, and I can do such a simple thing as giving birth to an illegitimate child, but now I am pretending to be pure in front of me, which is really shameless. ”
"Xiaowan is not that kind of girl." Wang Chao said embarrassedly, it seems that she herself believes it a little.
"Otherwise?" Wang Weimin sneered, "Otherwise, how can you explain the child's affairs?" You, you, your aunt, have become aunts. The eldest brother and sister-in-law are honest, and it happened that Chao Jing'an died of illness, so in order to replace Wen Xiaowan's misanthropy and other shameless things, they said that it was their child. Don't you see? Who is good to the child, sister-in-law or Wen Xiaowan? Who is more like a mother to a child? The sister-in-law is lukewarm to the child, but your niece Wen Xiaowan is like a mother to the child. ”
Wang Chao thought about it, and it was really so.
Wang Weimin sneered: "I'll go again tomorrow, hum, can you do such a shameless thing, and have the face to talk to me about conditions?" I, I still have to cover for her, if the people of the Zhao family find out that she is not perfect, it is estimated that there will be at most ten yuan left in the twenty yuan gift money. No, I have to deal with Zhou Xuan in this matter. As he spoke, he walked out, and Wang Chao hurriedly asked, "What are you going to do when you go out so late?" ”
Wang Weimin flicked his sleeves and said, "You don't care about men's affairs!" Keep an eye on your children at home. Why should I go? I make money, I don't make money, you don't have to starve. What can you do? What can I expect from you except to bring me a troublesome niece and two oil bottles? Wang Chao was cowardly and weak, and he didn't dare to speak, so he had to watch her husband leave home to find fun. (To be continued......)
